Late Spring's Colors!

I'm amazed at how many flowers are still blooming in early June as I took a stroll through Bernheim's gardens this past weekend. I would have though a great deal of them would have been done for the season, but there were quite a few flowers still showing their colors. It was odd though, there were no flowers blooming in the waterlily pond. I did find these beautiful Beardtongues (Penstemon Canascenswere) still blooming.These beautiful blue Balloon Flowers (Chinese Bell Flowers) were showing their colors as well.Look at the bloom before it opens. Is it not totally cool.As I continued to walk throughout the gardens, I spotted a flower I'd photographed before but never posted. The Firmosa Lily (Lillum Formosarum) was blooming again this late spring day.The heat is sweltering here in the Derby City. Hope you're staying cool wherever you are. ENJOY!
